I paper filed my taxes by submitting the federal tax return (files on Turbotax and printed on paper) and application to renew my spouse's ITIN at San Jose IRS assistance center.They said they will be mailing the documents to Austin IRS/ITIN.

 

This was before April deadline. Spouse received ITIN, but my federal tax status shows not filed.

 

What can I do in this case ?

Wait, since paper filing can take 6 months or more to process.

@jinamdar - not to worry; the IRS is 6-9 months backlogged to process paper returns.  Just be patient.  Since they processed the ITIN request, you know they have the return.

you have a copy (hopefully) of the completed tax return?????? 

 

by chance did you send the return requiring a signature upon receipt?

Yes I do have paper copies. No mailing confirmation since it was mailed by IRS assistance center.
